Butch Walker

Walker calls this Bogen Model 20 Challenger PA head, “a weird little amp that looks like it belongs in the principal’s office in Grease.” He’s especially fond of its overtones and natural distortion. Uses 6V6GT tubes.

Butch Walker played Rickenbacker 362/12 on Ludlow Expectations in Reverb Song Stories video.

Walker’s first distortion pedal, as stated at 0:11 in JHS Pedals’ “The Story of ROSS Pedals”.

My first distortion pedal was the yellow label Distortion, the Ross Distortion pedal.

Mentioned in JHS Pedals’ “The Story of ROSS Pedals” at 22:14.

I had the Ross Chorus pedal that I found at the local music store in Cartersville. I gotta have distortion and I gotta have chorus. Like, what is this sound all over MTV that I don’t know how to get out of my amp?
